A major conservative advocacy group aligned with House Speaker Mike Johnson is spending heavily to promote the tax cuts included in what’s been dubbed the “Working Families Tax Cuts Act.”
The American Action Network (AAN) announced Tuesday a $10 million national ad campaign set to run through April 15, the tax filing deadline.
The effort, shared first with Fox News Digital, focuses on the tax provisions in the sweeping domestic policy law passed largely along party lines by the Republican-controlled House and Senate and signed by President Donald Trump last summer.
The legislation reflects many of Trump’s 2024 campaign promises and second-term priorities, including extending his 2017 tax cuts and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay.
With tax season underway, Republicans are leaning into those provisions, arguing they’ll resonate with voters as the party tries to hold onto its narrow congressional majorities in the fall midterms.
“Republicans secured the largest tax cut in history and stood up for working families—a win that will be reflected in tax returns nationwide,” AAN President Chris Winkelman said. He added that the group plans to keep highlighting policies it says lower costs for working Americans. “As Tax Day approaches, we are reminding Americans that every single Democrat voted to raise their taxes.”
Promoting the tax cuts has become central to the GOP’s midterm messaging.
“Hardworking families will see the largest tax cuts in American history, putting more money in their pockets,” Johnson said in a recent social media post, crediting congressional Republicans and Trump.
Rep. Richard Hudson, who chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee, made a similar case, saying workers who rely on tips or overtime “are going to see a lot more money in their pocket” because those earnings are no longer taxed.
Republicans and the White House have also rebranded the legislation—originally called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—to emphasize its tax-cut focus.
Still, the party faces a difficult political environment. The president’s party typically loses seats in midterms, and Republicans are also contending with voter concerns about inflation, an unpopular war with Iran, and Trump’s approval ratings.
Democrats have sharply criticized the law, often referring to it as the GOP’s “big ugly bill.”
Rep. Suzan DelBene, chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said the legislation prioritizes tax breaks for wealthy and well-connected Americans while hurting working families. “People are feeling that, and we’re going to continue to call that out,” she said.
CJ Warnke of the House Majority PAC went further, arguing that Republicans “gave the elite a massive tax break” while raising prices, cutting healthcare, and avoiding transparency on other issues. He said voters would respond in November.
AAN says its ad campaign will span broadcast, digital, and streaming platforms across 37 congressional districts.
One ad thanks Republican lawmakers for passing the tax cuts and will air in districts represented by GOP members across states, including Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin.
A separate ad targets Democrats, accusing them of supporting what AAN calls the largest tax increase in U.S. history. That spot will run in districts represented by Democrats in states such as California, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington.
